1 a.m. Parade
Release Date: February, 2024
The Deborah Solo Trio creates fresh indie tracks with universal appeal that still cut deep.
Denver, Colorado—Inspired by an eclectic range of artists, including Lizzy McAlpine, King Princess, and Beck, the trio prioritizes hooking vocal melodies and heart-gripping lyrics, balanced with minimalist, yet avant-garde, instrumentation. The resulting sound is immediately accessible, but full of complexities that beg for repeat listens.
This female-fronted trio of diverse musicians has fully embraced the art of ensemble collaboration. They write each song together from start to finish, digging deep into themes of identity, censorship, and the labor of love.
The band’s own Chad “Chadzilla” Johnson recorded, mixed, and mastered the tracks at his Wash Park studio, 25 BPM Studios.
NOT YOUR DAISY
Release Date: August, 2021
Deborah Solo Trio’s sophomore album Not Your Daisy (2021) is indie folk, but with a bite.
Denver, Colorado—Not Your Daisy’s showpiece singles respond to relevant themes such as the Me Too movement, struggles with mental health, and the polarized political climate. The Trio goes to great emotional depths to uncover universal but paradoxically personal truths, finding strength in vulnerability. Their joy of collaboration and storytelling shines through in every track.
The trio used no auto-tune or digital pitch correction of any kind in the making of this album—at times blending up to seven vocal parts with cello, acoustic guitar, and layers of percussion instruments to create a natural, authentic indie folk sound that is in keeping with the raw honesty of their lyrics. Their sound is just as inspired by Radiohead and Beck as it is by artists in their genre.
Not Your Daisy was produced and recorded at 25 BPM Studio, which is owned and operated by the Trio’s drummer and audio engineer, Chadzilla Johnson. The members met with masks on and only once a week throughout the pandemic with steady determination to make this album happen.
